When making a new map the player icon does appear but the map will still generate the further chunks as it should normally. The default map that is given to you at the start still works but maps created after do not.
Thank you for your time,

The maps that are created are made with one piece of paper in the cartography table the created and I then I expand them and the player icon does not appear yet the map still loads in
You need to craft a locator map to get the pointer. See https://minecraft.gamepedia.com/Map#Player_marker_and_pointer
Are the maps you crafted locator maps or regular maps?
